Clinton to visit Japan late next week

WASHINGTON —

The U.S. government is making final arrangements for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to visit Tokyo late next week, with the aim of enhancing bilateral cooperation in addressing the disaster in Japan, U.S. diplomatic sources said Wednesday.
Washington is exploring the possibility of talks between Clinton and Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan as well as Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto during her stay in Tokyo, the sources said.
In the meetings, if realized, Clinton is expected to discuss how to deal with the nuclear crisis and reconstruction efforts, they said, adding she will likely say that Washington will extend full support to Japan as its ally.
